I posted for the first time the other day and within a couple of days I had the answers that have been evading me for years. I have just started to appreciate the watches that \i have due to inheriting a few from my Father and Father in Law. I have 16 in my collection now and I hope to keep it going. I have a couple more watches that I need info on and I have no doubt that someone will assist.

What a great forum!

Thank You...

Watch 1 - Universal Geneve - When I took it to a watch shop, the owner offered me $900.00 on the spot for it. But didn't tell me what it is and why he was willing to pay me that much for it.

Watch 2 - Dear old Dad again. Wittnauer - This one is still in the box.

 

Both watches work flawlessly. The Universal Geneve is a "Bumper"? Automatic.

These three sites will give you the model reference No and the production dates via the serial number.

      Pcket watch "Art déco"?

      By RichardHarris123 · Posted

      I'm not convinced it is a chronometer, just because it says so on the dial.  I think the two springs was a misunderstanding.

      I would cut my losses, keep it for parts. Buying a balance complete would be a Sunk cost fallacy.

      I recall a video on YT from Steffen Pahlow where he talks about getting himself a Chronometre (for which he paid more than he would have liked), but in his words "I had to. It is a Chronometre." I am wondering if you have more watch there than what you are aware of? Especially with what @Neverenoughwatches mentioned about two springs.

      I'm going to be setting up a decent little workshop here at home.

      If you are having counter tops ( i think thats the amercan term ) and some cupboards underneath where you dont require working legroom then that corner doesn't have to be a difficult access void. Lazy susans , we ( kitchen fitters ) call them cabinet carousels or you could just have two adjacent doors with a corner post fixed to one of them, though it does make for a long reach to get to the very corner. But a carousel is a good access solution, also there are sliding steel baskets available but these are bloody expensive and typically problematic, i really think they are a crap idea. What i like about fully fitted worktops, very tidy looking, no loss of space, and sidewards pinged parts are hopefully going to stay worktop side and not end up crunched on the floor.

      Aren't corners of rooms a bugger though as it is really difficult to use the space underneath the intersection of the two benchtops. Lazy Susans are an idea I suppose. Somewhere to be able to put tools/soldering iron/testing machines that aren't needed on the bench top all the time. It is a bit tight in there, but at least I won't have to move great distances to get to another area. I need to get hold of another chair to have at the cleaning bench. I'll stand all the time at the lathe and I already have the stool for the workbench. Need to get the power sorted now and move the LED lights for over the workbench. There are four downlight in the ceiling that are currently halogen bulbs. Really quite bright so that's good. Ceiling fan as well. What else could one hope for?
